Closed Refund planning application fees when decision not made within statutory time limit.

Closed on

We the undersigned propose an amendment to the planning legislation which will require the local planning authority to refund the planning application fee for any application which has not been decided within the statutory time limit. This proposal is submitted as a means to encourage timely decision making by local authorities and to ensure that individuals are not persecuted for complaining when applications overrun.
